The pursuit of the playoffs Canaries know going into St Andrew’s that if they win on Saturday, they would mathematically guarantee a spot in the top six. Hull, who are playing their final game of the season in Plymouth, behind City by three points and seven goals going into the final day.
Birmingham, on the other hand, will probably need to win and hope for favourable outcomes elsewhere in order to save their Championship status and avoid relegation to League One. Gary Rowett’s team has a worse goal differential and is behind Plymouth by one point.
Depending on the final standings, City will be looking to maintain their momentum heading into a play-off semi-final matchup with either Southampton, Leeds, or Ipswich Town. The two games that Sky has scheduled for Saturday lunchtime airing are Leeds United vs. Southampton and Ipswich vs. Huddersfield.
All of the games in the last game week of the Championship season, including the one at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, will begin at 12.30 p.m. on Saturday, May 4.
